ALT 370103

While I waited for UP 679 to pull its surprise out of Avalon Rail, I spotted this loaded flat car sitting outside of Siemens. As I looked closer, I noticed that it had six trucks! Further examination after shooting the photo revealed that it was a former KRL "Red 'n' Reddy" flatcar, now lettered ALT 370103. Further research on the ALT reporting marks led me to post on the PGRRail list, where I received a reply stating that this one of three such cars, owned by Progressive Rail Specialized Logistics, that are instrumental in the export of boilers to Chile!
